for the frag grenade did u save? in hexworkshop u gotta save like 5 times.
and for the sniped by whover thing thats easy just find "was killed" and youll see it. just edit it to your liking. this works with all text like "loading map bloodgulch" or "choose team"

[DJ~MXC]

ok so you tell me to save 5 times? NOW YOU TELL ME!!!! anyway thanks ill try this l8ter when i get on the modding PC im on the not modding halo PC ill give the save 5 times a try!

Thanks to Patrickh

THANKS ALOT I LIKE THAT PROGRAM STATUS REPORT:






a N00B GUN

a DIPERR RIFLE

[Greno]

I got a problem I'm changed the assault rifle name to battle rifle is works fine but one little thing is said this:

"Picked up a+ battle rifle"

I renamed it and checked look good but is says this:
.P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. .b.a.t.t.l.e. .r.i.f.l.e........

But still same problem and i renamed the fuel rod gun into flak gun but still shows up as fuel rod gun i check it and retype still same. I'll try to get some screenshots and let you c.

once vu rename a map once it will always generate an exception until you get a new file of it.

[Patrickh]

greno try this:

.P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. b.a.t.t.l.e. .r.i.f.l.e........

instead of this:

.P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. .b.a.t.t.l.e. .r.i.f.l.e........

see if that works. i don't think all that spacing is necessary. idk

[R.O.U.S.]

i don't think all that spacing is necessary. idk

the spaces are Very necessary. for every "." in the name equates to 00 in hex. spaces between words equate to 2e. i dont know how it is when you try to overwrite with hexworkshop but i found that the most efficient (although takes a little longer) way is to overwrite in hex not UTF

heres the actual hex string of .P.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. b.a.t.t.l.e. .r.i.f.l.e....... instead of the Unicode. it will be easier to replace this way

50 00 69 00 63 00 6b 00 65 00 64 00 20 00 75 00 70 000 20 00 61 00 20 00 62 00 61 00 74 00 74 00 6c 00 65 00 20 00 72 00 69 00 66 00 6c 00 65 00 00 00 00 00

Tutorial helped me figure it out. in the text editing part you said do it backwards, all I did was start at the beginning letter, type my first letter , and it overwrote the normal first letter. then hit the right arrow, wrote my second letter. When I got done writing what i wanted in the letter, arrow over, letter, arrow over fashion , I had some letters left over, which I replaced with periods.

lol i somehow managed to mess up my maps hex code...
dont know how i did it... i edited the vehicle, weapon and everything other to my liking, saved it and went all with my work... after a day i check, and the whole map is replaced with those giberish alt code symbols... i tried to search up the things i changed but they dont show up in hex editor... and they do still show up in the map... i even checked the offests against a normal map and they are different... dont know how i did it but it seems like a good way to prevent theft of maps since no one else can edit what i already changed in the map =]

[theghost741]

did you put new periods over the old ones instead of skipping over the old periods. Their periods have different hex codes than your periods.

[reanimation-06]

im sure i didnt... a huge (almost 1/5 portion of the map is just pure dots )oo oo)... its like someone added deleted a lot of stuff in the map and left it empty... what i dont understand is how the hex code is changed in every way possible (iv checked with original maps) but the map still functions correctly. For ex, I replaced "picked up" with "obtained:" and when i open hex editor and search for the work "obtained" it doesnt show up... but hows that possible when it shows up in game? lol i messed up the hex structure... well one things for sure, itll take a genius to crack my mod now
